Get ready to drool over the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda, the muscle car equivalent of a unicorn! With only 14 ever made, these beauties are priced up to $4 million, probably more than your house.

Dodge’s engine lineup in the ’50s was like a family reunion where nobody looked alike! From the “baby Hemi” to the polyspheric heads, it was a smorgasbord of engineering. The 1953 Dodge Red Ram Hemi got things rolling, but it was the 325-cubic-inch engine in ’57 that had enthusiasts revving with excitement. With variants like the KD-500-1, featuring dual four-barrel carburetors, even the engines had more carbs than your average pasta dinner. Talk about a power-packed decade!
Behold the Plymouth Belvedere RH2 1966, a car so iconic it should come with its own cape.

Whether you prefer automatic or manual, this muscle car is ready to rumble. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars, we can drool over these images without leaving an oil stain on the floor.
